I will be selling the Dudley Murphy Collection for his family with 100's of lures over the next several months so put me in your Favorites/Saved Sellers and check back often. Dudley, from Springfield, Missouri, was one of the founding members of the N.F.L.C.C. (National Fishing Lure Collector's Club) in 1975, a Drury University Art Professor, past editor of the N.F.L.C.C. Magazine, an accomplished musician and member of the nationally acclaimed blue grass band "Radio Flyer", and the author of Fishing Lure Collectibles Identification and Value Guide books. Many of the lures in Dudley's collection were pictured in these books and will be offered in these listings.
